Croft New Strater Driving Experience

Well it was Arrans day again yesterday to taking behind the steering wheel at Croft Racing Circuit. He has done this before when he was 13 but now he is 16 and is keen as mustard to start his driving lessons.
Angus has also done the mini experience before and a McLaren experience at croft.
There are three minis with a driving instructor in each one. Each car you share with another driver. The first 20 mins is getting to know the car, in and out of cones, figures of eight etc. The second 20 mins they go on the back road around the circuit and do some reversing, hill start (not that is much of a hill) and then a couple of laps around the smaller circuit. The last go is two full laps of the circuit. They get a lanyard and certificate at the end, all in £99 which is not too bad for around 45 minutes of driving.
As ever Crofts weather did not let us down with a freezing cold wind blowing down the home straight mixed in with very heavy drizzle all morning. Below are some snaps of the racing snake at the wheel, god help us all! there are also a few short video clips. Enjoy and hopefully more soon -
